The first time you start Streamwell, it will generate a one-time admin password for your first login, at which time you will be required to change the admin password. The password is printed to the Docker logs which can be viewed by clicking the container name in Docker Desktop or by running this command after the installation completes: docker logs -f Streamwell
With the application now running, you should test the server before you go any further. To do so:
Open a web browser and go to the IP of the server. If you are on the server itself, use ‘http://127.0.0.1’ which is the universal address for 'the machine I am currently on'.
Log in with the temporary admin password and set your new password.
On the home page, copy one of the stream URLs for the channel you just created.
Point your stream encoder to the stream URL and start your stream.
You should now be able to connect and view the stream via the home page.
You can log in to view streams, or share public links for one-tap access. Viewers can press 'T' to toggle a focused, minimal player or press 'F' to toggle fullscreen on or off.
If "Ultra Low Latency Playback" is disabled in the Administration section (Customization -> Preferences), or if a stream uses H265/HEVC video, the player will use traditional live streaming (HLS) for playback. The latency will be approximately 3 seconds on desktop computers, and up to 20 seconds on mobile devices.
Congratulations!! With the server running, this is an excellent time to test your hostname for remote access.
